On Saturday Kaulig Racing announced that Ty Dillon will drive the No. 10 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 during the 2025 Cup Series season.
The team will exchange the No. 31 to acquire the No. 10 for 2025, something president Chris Rice says the organization is excited about.
“We’re excited to be able to acquire the rights of the No. 10 for the 2025 Cup Series season,” said Chris Rice, president of Kaulig Racing. “When we decided to move to the Cup series, the number was not available, so we are looking forward to having familiarity and synergy across both series with the Nos. 10 and 16.”
Dillon previously has competed in 244 Cup Series races but his 2025 deal with Kaulig will give him a chance to be competitive for the first time in the Cup Series.
“I am incredibly grateful for another opportunity to run full-time in the Cup Series, and to be able to do it with the men and women at Kaulig Racing means a lot to me personally,” said Dillon. “They gave me a chance this year to go out and prove myself in a handful of starts. The team and I were able to connect early on and we put together a few strong runs in the No. 16. I’m really looking forward to what 2025 brings with this team. We have a bright future ahead of us and we’re going to give it our all each and every race next season.”
Dillon has competed in four events for the team in the No. 16 entry this season.
“Ty has done a really great job for us this year in our No. 16 car, competing in a limited schedule,” said team owner, Matt Kaulig. “He has been consistent each time he gets in the car and has really helped our program grow this season. We think he will be instrumental in continuing our Cup program in alliance with Richard Childress Racing.”
